neuroaesthetics

These photographic sketches were Inspired by the study of Neuroaesthetics and the work of Neuro-scientist Beatriz Calvo-Merino. Vanessa was asked to analyse and ‘perform’ various actions by skillfully imitating movements associated with various domains of sport. What becomes evident through the medium of still image is the transparency of training and intention. Not only was it evident that Vanessa’s physical training gave her an acute sense of body awareness and an ability to effectively translate the tasks, but that her ability to mimic ‘known’ yet intentionally-unfamiliar actions was incredibly accurate.
